application mea July 14, 1925. serial No. 43,566.

The present invention relates to'handlesV for tools or the like and an objectv of the invention is to provide a simple and'eii'eotive means for securing a `handle to a tool or other implement, while permitting Vthe handle to rotate on said tool. y

To this and other ends, the invention con- ,sists ofrcertain scribed: the novel features beingy pointed In the drawingS:--` f -r .y ,.1 Y i Fig. .1 is a fragmentaryside view of a bracev to which a handle is secured; and

F ig. 2 is a longitudinalsection through the handle.

' f Referring mor-e` particularly tothe draw# ing, 1 indicates the brace and 2 the handle.

vThe handle,"in this instance, is in the form of a cup Vshaped member Vwith a central opening 3 and a depressed portion Llabout said opening. `The handle'vis secured'tothe tool -through the medium of a; pressed up cap member A5 which has cylindrical'inner, land outer walls, the cylindrical inner wall itting the outer' cylindrical surfacevof'fthe a tool r1. The cap 5 `is pressed outwardly ad-V jacent its top 6 `to provide an outwardly presented'iiange Z which .is adapted to fit in theY depressed portion 4 and engage the top Vsurface ofV the handle 2 within said depresf sion.

About the K or bushing 8whieh has al cylindrical inner wall ittingthe'cylindrical outer wall of the arts, and f'combinationsof parts, all ofwhlehV will befhereinafteri den cap member 5 is fitted a sleevey cap member. The inner end of saidbusliing abuts the underside of the handlevadjacent theopening 3 sojthat the handle is heldy y between the end of the sleeve orbushing.- V"and ther flange 7, the holding beingV such that 40 l the handle" mayturn with reference to the cap-member and'thefbushing 8, whilefthe` vlatter two parts are held against.`turning relatively tothe tool 1.

what I @nim as my invention" anaal-,sire f to secure by Letters Patent is l. The combination with a tool, of a cap,Y

member ittedfupon the end of the tool and having-an outwardly extending flange at vsuch end, a sleeve'fittedto the cap member 50 and having ,anv end spaced from the Hange,

and acup shaped'handle'member having va central opening through which the cap member extends, theportions of thehandle adjacent said opening llying between the out- 55 wardly extending flange ron the kcap member v'and theadjac'ent end of the sleeverandbeing mounted to turnV on such cap member.

V2. The combination with a tool kof a caphaving an outwardlyA extending Aflange at its top, a sleeve litted on the cap .member and havlng member iit'ted upon said tool and its vinnerfend spaced'from the'flange', anda handle havingf a central opening through which the cap member extends, said handle '66 having a depressed portion about the central f. p opening in vwhich the flangeA of the cap member lies.
